This is a cheerful and bright picture book focused on a little boy, Tsering, who is blind. Tsering walks home and invites many of his neighbors home to have thukpa for dinner with him and his grandmother. He helps his grandmother with the cooking - especially once the lights go out! The narrative very much fits into a standard folktale-type story which is predictable but also comforting and entertaining for children. It's a gentle and happy book that is easy to enjoy.
